Ok I just tested this on my Windows 10 machine and Karaf 4.0.4 If I start karaf using “karaf start” from the CMD.exe and use the shell console the backspace key and arrow key work normally. I tested with the Windows Powershell and it works fine also.
If I connect using Putty to the SSH Shell then the backspace key doesn’t work and it looks like a whitespace characters is inserted. So it might be something to do with the detection of the terminal emulation with Putty. Also the up and down arrows keys also seem to have issues because the line doesn’t seem to be properly erased. It seems mostly like a display issue because if I enter “aa” and hit backspace and then enter, Karaf tries to execute a command called “a”, so the backspace has indeed modified the string properly. The same is true for the up and down arrows. I tested this with Putty 0.62, 0.66 (beta) and the latest snapshot (2016-01-04.51465fa and the behavior was the same in all of them. I use the default settings. I also tested with AbsoluteTelnet10.12 (demo license) and I got the exact same behavior. I hope this information helps. I also copied all this information into the ticket. cheers, Serge… > On 18 janv. 2016, at 06:16, Jean-Baptiste Onofré <j...@nanthrax.net> wrote: > > Thanks for the update.
